Kamala Harris promised "the most lethal military" in the world and said Iran was our greatest threat. After Israel struck Iran, Tim Walz said that we need "expand Israel and its proxies" in the VP debate. Schumer and Jeffries just worked to delay a war resolutions vote until after these strikes.

We are ever at war because of their evil. Do not forget.'

As Marxists of old used to say, 'it is no accident'. The US has two tools: bribery and bombing. We can guess which one was used.

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei a Friday deadline to comply with demands to peel back safeguards on its AI model or risk losing a Pentagon contract.
He also threatened to put the AI company on what could amount to a government blacklist.”

Karen has no criminal record. She is a grandmother who spent eight years working as an admin assistant at a primary school before her retirement. “I don’t even have parking tickets in the background anywhere,” she says. “I am not a dangerous criminal. I didn’t enter the country illegally and I had everything I needed to be there.” So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? A possible answer began to emerge over the weeks she was incarcerated. As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,” Karen says.
Border Patrol is operating as bounty hunters.
Agents are apparently getting paid for each person they put in detention. Even if those people are grandmothers traveling on valid tourist visas.

In addition to other motivations, every person who resists 'AI' groupthink should take Mencken's advice, quoted by @harrysimmons3578.bsky.social onboard. We needn't justify ourselves to the idolators.
